About St John the Baptist Church of England Junior School

St John the Baptist Church of England Junior School is a mixed state primary for ages 7 to 11 in Richmond upon Thames, and its headline academic metrics sit notably below the local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 50% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 76%. That 26-point gap places the school 37th out of 38 primary schools in Richmond upon Thames, in the bottom 2.6% of its LA peers. Nationally, it ranks in the bottom 21% of all primaries. The school’s individual subject scores are mixed: 70% reached the expected standard in reading and in maths, but only 61% did so in writing. Higher-standard attainment is also low, with just 7% achieving the higher benchmark across all three subjects. These figures suggest a school where outcomes are significantly behind the strong local norm, though the context of a selective, high-performing borough should be kept in mind.
